After just finishing a much-needed Star Wars marathon at the Raak household, I have begun looking at ways to expand the universe in our home. I loved exploring the FFG Star Wars: X-Wing miniatures game last week, but Star Wars: Imperial Assault is more of what I’m looking for: well-integrated Star Wars theme, a variant for 2-players, and easy-to-grasp “dungeon crawl” mechanics. Quickly wish-listed!

Legendary Encounters is a wonderfully thematic deck builder, and agree once the pressures on its more about fighting fires than building a specific engine. Dominion is far better suited as a solid deck builder game with no bell’s and whistles more akin to a round of Poker.

I’m waiting for the new Imperial Assault expansion before breaking my copy back out, plus I need to finish painting my mini’s.

And generally tickled to have myself explored in such a lovely manner.

Although a Deckbuilder by definition Legendary really doesn’t feel as the same genre as Dominion and others. I have a friend who doesn’t care for any sort of deck building (other then Star Realms) but loves Legendary Encounters. We’ve talked a little about it why that is, and while still unconcluded we narrowed it down to the point that you really do not have much time to prepare your deck a whole lot before the attack sets in and that it is actually one of the more thematic deckbuilders.
